Scene 3.
Enter the Lady Parrot, and the Lady Minion.
LAdy Parrot.

Shall we go and visit the Lady Gravity?

Minion.

No, she lives so solitary a life, as we shall meet no company there: for none go to visit her.

Lady Parrot.

Then let us goe to the Lady Liberty, there we shall meet

company enough: for all the Ladies in the Town go to visit her.

Minion.

If she hath no men-visiters, I will not add to the number of her Lady visiters.

Parrot.

You may be sure she hath Masculine Visiters, or else the Ladies would never go to see her: for it is to meet the men the Ladies go to see her, and not for her own sake.

Minion.

And the men go to see the Ladies.

Parrot.

I believe some do; yet men are better company in the company of their own Sex, than in the company of women.

Minion.

By your favour, the contrary Sex agree best, and are better plea∣sed together, than men with men, or women with women: But if the Lady Liberties House be the General Rendezvouz for Men and Women, let us go.

Parrot.
